2014 Chinese Astrology

Friday, February 7, 2014

Rooster's are known for the management
abilities. One of my clients, a classic Rooster, is the manager of
several up and coming musical acts. She's handles everything from
their booking, billings, transportation, even their social media.
She's always juggling so many things she barely has time for her own
life.

This year the Horse energy is crossing
her path at a 90 degree angle. This means opportunities can come out
of nowhere. And with her schedule as tight as it is she may not feel
ready to take on any new acts no matter how much her gut tells her
that these guys are going to be stars.

To prepare for the new opportunities
coming this music manager needs to make a list of her projects (the
bands) and write down briefly what they have been able to accomplish
thus far and what she sees for them in the future. If a band is
under-performing she doesn't need to do anything about it until the
new opportunity shows up. When it does she will be ready to let go of
what's not working and grab hold of what will work.

For Rooster, I gave the Feng Shui cure
of a sailing ship in my book, Chinese Astrology 2014 Year of the WoodHorse. This was so the Rooster can sail through no matter how rough
the seas get. If you're a Rooster go out and look for a picture of a
sailing ship that's actually sailing. Don't use a boat that's moored,
drifting, and especially avoid any haunted ghost ships. You're
looking for a bright, happy picture of a sailboat sailing along on a
calm day.

Place your picture so the boat appears
to be sailing into the room. So the back of the boat would be pointed
towards the door and the front of the boat would be pointed away from
the door. If your boat is pointed out the door then the ship has to
go out, get the gold, treasure and spices and bring them all the way
back to you...that can be a long wait.

If you happen to already have a picture
of a sailing ship in your home you can move it to a spot in your
living room. Photographs work too. You can also use models of ships
but make sure the model is free of dust. Ships in bottles are less
effective because they are trapped in the bottle. Place the
representation of the ship and you'll see opportunities come to your
door.

A couple of my clients, both of whom
are born in the Year of the Dog, started out this year with a cold.
Dog natives had a tough time last year in the Snake year and coming
out of that into 2014 created a releasing some of the negative
emotions and stuff that had built up. And for them this manifested
into a cold.

If you're born in the Year of the Dog
and you're in this situation you are probably feeling very impatient
as you're waiting for your head to clear. You want to get to the good
stuff this year, 2014, has to offer. But it's best not to push it.
You will be able to move forward more quickly after a full recovery.

Give yourself a week or so to rest and
heal. In the meantime you can move this process forward by
energetically clearing your home. You can do this using sage and the
Native American-inspired method of smudging.

In my book, Chinese Astrology 2014 yearof the Wood Horse, I recommend sprinkling cinnamon on your front
porch to attract money opportunities. You can take some cinnamon and
toss it out there but you can also take some additional steps to
increase the prosperity energy.

Preparing your porch and welcoming
money: First make a visual examination of your porch. Does anything
need to be repaired. If there's broken flower pots then toss them. If
there's floor boards that are needing repairs then have this done as
soon as possible. Remember all new energy comes into your life
through the front door so you don't want any tripping hazards slowing
energy down.

Move your welcome mat so you can sweep
your porch. Sweep from the door outward and visualize all negative
energy being swept away as you do. Then sprinkle the cinnamon and put
the welcome mat back down. You can sprinkle a bit more cinnamon on
top of the mat. When done right, Feng Shui cures bring results in the
first week so watch for new money opportunities to come your way. Any
money that comes, even a small amount, is a sign you did things right
and that you can build on that energy.

If you need help with this or you want
to know more about what's coming up for you in 2014 contact me for
details on getting a private consultation.

Everyone underestimates gentle Rabbit
probably because he's so cute. But Rabbit is a very powerful sign of
the Chinese Zodiac. He sits between the Tiger and the Dragon and
keeps these two forces apart. That's amazing. Rabbit has strong
intuition and understands people. He's sensitive, kind and an
extremely valuable friend to have.

This year, the Year of the Wood Horse,
Rabbit will have opportunities to manifest the vision he's held on to
for so long. Rabbit will be noticed by others and can find people who
will share and support Rabbit's ambitions. But Horse energy can move
faster than a little bunny so in my book, Chinese Astrology 2014 Yearof the Wood Horse, I recommend that Rabbit create a Wish Box to help
capture money and opportunities. But I've found something that will
work even better. A Treasure Bowl.

This beautiful wood bowl from Formosa Art is carved from walnut and polished to a fine shine. It measures
over 16 inches in diameter and about 12 inches high. It goes with
many styles of décor and most importantly it's a great Feng Shui
cure for attracting wealth. Place your Treasure Bowl in your business
office or home office. Place it in the Wealth area (the far left
corner from the door). Or you can place this Treasure Bowl near your
front door to attract career opportunities and promotions. Once you
have the job you want move the bowl to the Wealth corner of your
office to continue to attract money throughout the year.

In 2014 Year of the Wood Horse there are two lucky zodiac signs and one of these is Tiger. Tiger is a sign harmonious with Horse. Tiger understands Horse's powerful energy (mostly because Tiger is pretty powerful himself). Tiger's best asset this year is his ability to wait for just the right moment to take action. There will be plenty of opportunities this year but not everything will be an ideal situation. For Tiger it's important to have in mind what you want and as opportunities show up on your doorstep then decide whether it's a good deal for you. You don't have to take every opportunity this year because there will be so many.

For example, Gloria is born in the year of the Tiger. This year she wants a better job that pays more money. The extra money will allow her to build an emergency fund as well as helping her add to her retirement savings. In my book, Chinese Astrology 2014 Year of the Wood Horse, I suggest that Tigers hang a wind chime made of Chinese coins on their front porch or balcony. This Shower of Coins Wind Chime will create better luck for her when she's job hunting. Gloria will hang up the wind chime on February 1st, right after Chinese New Year.

If you're born in the Year of the Rat you might be feeling a little nervous as we enter the Horse year. Much of what you read in Chinese Astrology will say that Horse years are very bad for Rats. But there are lots of things you can do to make this a great year.

When the opposite animal to your own comes up it's said that animal will "steal your energy". For the next year a lot of attention will be paid to Horse. Which leaves only left-over energy for Rat. Little Rat doesn't want to get trampled by all this crazy energy. And you don't just want to survive, you want to prosper.

The solution is to distract the Horse from taking your energy. One great distraction is a Tiger. The Tiger is an animal that is both friendly to Horse and to you, born year of the Rat. In the business world this is like networking with influential friends who can open doors of opportunity for you, doors that may not open if it was just you knocking.

I suggest you find yourself a representation of a Tiger. It can be a picture, statue, piece of jewelry, tiger-print shirt, bedspread, the gemstone Tiger's Eye, a little stuffed tiger...you get the idea. And have this around you especially during periods where you want to have energy and opportunity for success.

January is the last month of the Year of the Snake. We will then move into the Year of the Horse.

When you consider the physical aspects of these animals, when we think Snake we think skin. The energy of this year would remind us to take care of our skin. Snakes are known for shedding their skin. They get a whole new skin. But for us we just have the one skin and so taking care of it is important. And when you think about the 12 year cycle of the Chinese Zodiac, this will be the last reminder we get to care for our skin for the next dozen years.

How do you take care of your skin?

Besides the usual stuff that most people do I like to use Aloe Vera on my skin. I love the healing qualities of Aloe and I think it has helped my skin over the years. I started using it regularly back in 2001 when we were in the previous Year of the Snake. Recently I've found Argan Oil which I really like. It's a lighter oil and I put it on at night and wake up with skin dewy soft.

What new skin care items did you start using in the Year of the Snake?

Next month we'll be in the energy of the Horse. Then we will need to pay attention to our feet, ankles, and legs (including knees). And by caring for those parts of our body we will be in harmony with the energy and we'll help ourselves towards success.
